Forgive me, I'm not entirely computer savy. I got this computer as a wedding gift recently, and am curious if it will run conan or not. If not, what would I need to upgrade? Any help would be wonderfully appreciated. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113059 |

What we have here is the failure to communicate. |
no, you'll need to get a better video card. i'd get at least a 8600gt at the minimum...8800gts or better imo. processor could idealy be better.... |

Originally posted by DownsyYou will need to upgrade the video card and probably the power supply too because power supplies that come with retail computers usually aren't that great. Good news is, that upgrading the video card and power supply isn't really that hard. Back when I first started messing around with computers those were the first two things I replaced, so you should be fine. If you tell me what you are willing to spend, I can provide more help, but for a fairly cheap upgrade I recommend the following. EVGA 9600GT - $157 - www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx Corsair 450 watt PSU - ~$85 (before rebate) - www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx That should suit your computer pretty well. |

I posted here recommending a ~500$ computer which could run next gen mmorpgs at a decent quality, you might want to check it out. www.onrpg.com/boards/1036273-post14.html Get the pieces and take them to any PC store near your home if you don't know how to build it, and you will also need a hard drive, any HD with 7200 rpm would do the job finely. Also, that case was there to fit the 500$ budget, you should get a better one with a pair of fans (not stock ones) if you can go to almost 600$. |
